Courses offered through the new program include abnormal psychology, human development, general psychology, personal growth and behavior as well as psychology and modern growth.
Martha Kuehn, a psychology professor at CLC, told the news source that "this articulation agreement will open a pathway for psychology students to move smoothly into a bachelors level program at St. Cloud State." She added that "students can take psychology classes at CLC which will transfer into the Community Psychology major at SCSU."
